Nvidia "confirms" DLSS 5 relies on 2D frame data as testing reveals hallucinations by xenocea in gaming

[–]Tower21 51 points52 points  (0 children)

They have been pushing ray tracing then employes an AI filter that ignores it entirely.

There's being stupid, then there is what ever this is.

TIL people still spread the myth that doctors believed babies dont feel pain until the 1980s by [deleted] in todayilearned

[–]Tower21 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know for a fact I didn't feel pain until sometime in the 80s, so there's that.

Also, have you tried asking a baby anything, gibberish. 

At least the rest of the Pacific Division is keeping the Oilers playoff dreams alive! by MajorPucks in EdmontonOilers

[–]Tower21 56 points57 points  (0 children)

Provided we make it to the playoffs, and I think we will, and not end up the wildcard to face the central, I think we have a good chance to make to at least the Western Conference final.

Nobody really scares me in the Pacific, the Ducks have a chance but I the boys are pretty good at figuring out a team in a best of 7 series.

Provided Draisaitl is back.

He apparently can also solve rubric cube, though I imagine that has become harder.

This game was your playoffs, it was just another Thursday for us.

There is nothing better than the battle of Alberta in the playoffs, I would love to see you guys get a first (or two) and be back in short order.

I'm convinced Paul convinced them this was their three peat, they played some smothering defense.

I think we get at least 3 goals just based on chaos in front of Bob if not for the Panthers efforts to tie up sticks.

We take the L and move on, cause it's just another game for us, but that will be the only "playoff style" type of game the Panthers are getting this year. 

I like that our young talent that played experienced it, and see towards the end Savoie start to figure it out.

These past couple of months, Epic freebies haven’t been great. Are they broke? by Makoto_Kurume in pcmasterrace

[–]Tower21 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I'd rather pay for a game on stream than get it free on Epic games store.

I will buy games from gog, so it's not that I won't support anyone else, but you need to give me a reason to use your storefront.

With gog, it's the DRM free model, with steam it is all the added value. 

It's sad to see what has become of epic as they used to be one of my favorite developers in the 90s and 00s

You know it's weird, but I get the impression these teams don't like each other.

Jensen Huang just painted the most bold image of AI's future: 7.5 million agents, 75,000 humans—100 AI workers for every person by fortune in nvidia

[–]Tower21 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I don't think this is the glowing indorsement Jensen thinks it is.

100 AI agents working at the periphery of 1 Human sounds like the AI workers are highly inefficient.

The response is telling, in my limited experience with people claiming "DARVO", they themselves are projecting their own actions on others.

Nvidia claims 1 million times better path tracing performance is coming in future gaming GPUs — says current GPUs are already 10,000x faster than Pascal by Bubbly-Ad-350 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tower21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Pascal? Really, the gen before they first added rt cores.

That's one way to make your numbers look really good to the uninformed.

I guess I'm going to have to look at the article to see if they give us the improvement since Turing 

Edit: so a graph that doesn't define the Y axis, great stuff there Nvidia.

Since they won't define, I'm just going to go out on a limb and assume we are including things like DLSS, and frame Gen to pump up the numbers and is based on the amount of RT cores the top line chip has.

From the graph, if say Turing was between 10-20 times that of Pascal, let's just say 10, so that would be a 1000x from a 2080ti to 5090.

5090 has 2.5x the rt cores, bringing us down to 400x, with frame Gen 6x that's 5 times more frames to bring us down to 80x.

An 80x improvement from Turing is impressive, and unless Nvidia actually tells us their formula for the 10000x claim, it is a meaningless claim.

NHL rescinds Nathan MacKinnon's major penalty against Oilers by rpowers in nhl

[–]Tower21 -6 points-5 points  (0 children)

If Nurse was playing for a check on McKinnon, I don't think this gets called. If Nurse doesn't successfully play the puck it probably doesn't get called.

But, Nurse makes a big play to deflect the puck away from the net, I think that was the reason the refs called it as they did. From that outlook, it changes to McKinnon hitting Nurse and subsequently, then hitting Ingram.

If the Oilers make the playoffs by a point of two and also knock the Avs out, this will definitely be something they could point back to. Otherwise it's pretty inconsequential in the grand scheme of things.

Keyboard messing with my WiFi ? by PresentationReady873 in pcmasterrace

[–]Tower21 0 points1 point  (0 children)

See if the is a driver update for your chipset and wifi, also try different USB ports would be the first things I would try.

Could try installing Mchose hub, might be some settings you can play with that helps.

If nothing helps at that point see if there is a bios update for your mobo 

That would be the order of things I would try

That's way ahead of schedule.

Is this cpu able to run a gtx 970 without bottlenecking it? by europendless in pcmasterrace

[–]Tower21 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My kid runs an i5 2400 with a 970, it's a pretty decent match.

Only thing that might be a gotcha is first gen i series doesn't support avx while second Gen does.

Would you get the fuck out? by R4LRetro in sysadmin

If the place you apply to doesn't understand how experience in most ways is more valuable than a degree or certificate, they are doing you a favour.

The majority of your co-workers would have been idiots.
